The only place I've found locally where you can purchase Blue Crab meat from either the Chesapeak Bay or Louisiana. On both occasions we enjoyed fresh steamed Crabs. They were cooked perfectly with an exceptional store mixed Old Bay based seasoning. We've enjoyed their steamed shrimp which are wild caught and steamed perfectly. Their seafood bisque and the special shrimp and corn chowder is amazing. Rich, creamy, perfectly prepared chowder with just the right blend of old bay, seafood and vegetables. I've had their steamed Little Neck Clams in a white wine and garlic sauce. Delicious and served with toasted, crusty garlic bread. I have not tried their homemade Key lime pie.....yet. I plan to soon. Looking forward to trying their soft-shell crab sandwich. Mr Bills is located near Franklin and Marshall College along Harrisburg Ave. Seating is a bit limited, but there is seating inside and out. The cafe and seafood shop are house in the same space. Don't expect opulent atmosphere, but when the seafood is that good and fresh, you don't need "opulence". They have daily specials and sandwiches along with their fresh seafood. The staff is helpful, knowledgable and able to answer questions and make recommendations. I can't recommend Mr Bills more highly. Looking forward to our next visit with friends.

This place had been on my radar for a while, but when I recently learned that Grappling Crab Shack…read morewas serving Crab Stuffed Deviled Eggs, there was no longer any point in delaying the inevitable. A crabby dinner needed to happen...immediately! I recruited an adventure buddy and we made plans to meet at Grappling Crab Shack's creekside home base on a rainy Saturday evening. We arrived around 5pm, about an hour before closing, and thanks to the rain, we had the place almost entirely to ourselves! If you've never been, Grappling Crab Shack is a local family-owned business specializing in fresh Maryland blue crabs, gourmet crab cakes, seasonal seafood specialties, catering and a food truck that travels throughout the area. It's one of those hidden gems that feels like you've stumbled onto a local secret. Since it was our first visit, we decided to do what any reasonable seafood lovers would do....order basically everything! First up were the Crab Stuffed Deviled Eggs ($18 for six). Holy. Cow! These were TREMENDOUS! The filling was loaded with crab, each egg was topped with a little bit of bacon and they disappeared from the plate embarrassingly fast. If you visit Grappling Crab Shack and don't order these, I genuinely think you're making a mistake! Next came the Cajun Jambalaya ($10) with chicken, smoked sausage, tomatoes, trinity vegetables and Cajun spices. This was excellent. Smoky, flavorful, and carrying just enough heat to let you know it was Cajun without setting your face on fire. My adventure buddy never once reached for hot sauce, which says a lot! Then came the Cheesy Crab Bites ($15). These might actually be my favorite surprise of the evening. Homemade crab cake mix blended with mozzarella, cream cheese and garlic, rolled in panko and Old Bay, fried until golden and served with a house remoulade. I'd choose these over mozzarella sticks every single day of the week! The cheese pulls were absolutely glorious, and the remoulade added the perfect tangy finish. Finally, we tackled the Gourmet Crab Cake ($17). This thing was HUGE! Made with fresh Maryland blue crab, it was beautifully seasoned, perfectly cooked, and held together much better than several crab cakes I've had recently. I'm actually glad we skipped ordering it as a sandwich because the crab cake itself deserved to be the star of the show. Our total came to right around $60, and considering how much food we ordered, plus the leftovers we both brought home, I thought it was money well spent. We grabbed one of the covered tables out back overlooking the yard and listening to the creek rush by. Despite the rain, it was a really relaxing place to enjoy dinner. I can only imagine how nice it is on a sunny summer evening. The staff couldn't have been kinder, bringing everything out to us with smiles and making us feel right at home. This place is an absolute hidden gem and one of my favorite seafood spots to have checked out in the last few months! I'll definitely be back, preferably on a dry evening when I can fully enjoy the creekside setting. If you love crab, seafood, or just supporting awesome local businesses, don't sleep on Grappling Crab Shack. And whatever you do...order the deviled eggs!

He placed me on hold and verified crabs was on site and order will be fulfilled. I was advised that for Crabs only cash is accepted. Cool. I arrived by 5:57pm. I was told to hold on a few minutes because my food wasn't ready. Cool. After waiting 5minutes the guy working there then calls me back inside to say "AINT NO MORE". I said excuse me....no more crabs? "Yea no more crabs" He couldn't care less which was even more pathetic because that's not how you treat a paying 1st time customer! He then says well I have snows for you. I ORDERED BLUES AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO CALL ME BACK TO SAY IM SORRY WE RAN OUT! He then goes to tell me "I called her and she told me we had 6 but it was sitting there for someone else's order" I am absolutely flabbergasted. It's a shame because I am loyal to my people especially if it tastes good. To have me drive then give me some BS about not having them then ready to hand off someone else's order.....NEVER AGAIN! That's not how you treat anyone!!!! Idc how long you been in crab business. I'm real life sad because I had a serious craving for them smh
